Eight‑year‑old Zander — known to everyone who loves him as “Big Z” — is absolutely the second kind.

Born with Spina Bifida, Zander has faced challenges that would slow most people down. But not this kid. Big Z leads with heart first, always looking out for others before himself, and he brings a spark of joy everywhere he goes. Whether he’s cheering on a teammate, helping a friend, or simply flashing that signature grin, he makes the world around him a little brighter. And now, he’s rolling into his next chapter with something extra special: His THIRD Amtryke!


As Zander grows, so does his need for equipment that keeps up with his strength, independence, and adventurous spirit. His new Amtryke isn’t just a bike — it’s freedom, confidence, and pure childhood joy wrapped into one bright, adaptive set of wheels.


Big Z received his Amtryke on behalf of a very generous donation from Mears Mazda of Lubbock. As you can see it takes many people for an Amtryke recipient to receive their much-needed therapeutic tryke. To become involved in the Lubbock Monterey AMBUCS, you can DONATE now or become a SPONSOR. Come join us at our luncheon meetings and see what we're all about. We are the Lubbock Monterey Chapter of AMBUCS; Proud of our past...Engaged in our present...and, excited about our future.
